What are the best travel insurance options and flight recommendations from the UK to Thailand during COVID restrictions?

Darren *******

@Will ***********

I'd avoid them like the plague for now...no entertainment system on-board as they can't afford the licence. Can't remember if a mate who flew with them recently got food or not.

Is it possible for a UK citizen living in the US to obtain an extended visa for Thailand after a 14-day quarantine?

Darren *******

@Calu **************

this comes up every month and every month it's rejected. With the massive number of cases announced over the weekend (by Thailand's standards anyway) I can't see any way a reduction in quarantine will be approved anytime soon.

If the Thai embassy in London is closed it's because they're having a deep clean (pretty sure i saw someone post this notice a few days back). Think they reopen next week if that is the case as tomorrow and Friday are public holidays in Thailand.
